Luffa Sponge Gourd Seeds (Luffa cylindrica) are very popular among gardeners. Grow your own natural dishcloth or bath sponge! Excellent when used to exfoliate the skin as a sponge. Can also be grown as baby vegetables when harvested small at around 2". Harvest at 7" for sponge or dishcloth uses.
The Luffa Gourd is an open-pollinated variety. You just allow the gourd to dry and peel off the skin to reveal the sponge.

I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
